Should I tell my husband about my std?

I have genital warts. But I get them burned with a laser off at the doctor, so I have never told my husband. As long as I get them burned off then he can't catch them. Should I tell him anyway? I'm just afraid he'll think I'm disgusting. I'm already very self conscience because I have very dark brown areolas. I can't believe I am even posting this. Please be nice and try to help me.

Honestly, I can't belive you got married and didn't tell him!! I'd be crazy if I was keeping something like that from my hubby!!! My gut says that you should tell him, though I do wonder what your reasoning was for withholding for so long... it must be good.... I hope. I would hope that if yo're married to him that he loves you no matter what and would want you to be honest with him. Would you want to know if he had an STD??

He most certainly CAN catch it from you, even if you have the warts removed. You HAVE to tell him this. HAVE TO.

You're not a bad person, I understand being scared to tell him this. But he deserves to know.

Also, what does having dark brown areolas have to do with being self conscious? Who cares? Some breasts have dark areolas, others don't, it seriously doesn't matter and should have NO bearing on your decision to tell him or not.
